Penn State and Nebraska both kept it within single-digits the past two weeks in coming up just short against the Buckeyes, but Vegas is not predicting another narrow win this week as Ohio State opens as 19-point favorites against Purdue.

Ohio State has been a double-digit favorite in every game so far this season.

Purdue enters the game having won two straight, at Nebraska two weeks ago and at home yesterday when the Boilermakers upset Michigan State. Purdue hasn't won three straight games since 2018 when it won four straight, the fourth of which was its 49-20 shocker of the Buckeyes.

Ohio State had covered the spread in four-straight games prior to only beating Penn State and Nebraska both by nine points against double-digit point spreads. The Buckeyes are now 4-4-1 against the spread this season.
